National data on children moving onto 4-year universities, 2-year college, or finding a job. (dated May 1, 2016 - Heisei 28)1,818 high school children living in homes -> up from 1,543 in 2012226 (12.4%) went to a 4-year university -> up from 11% in 2012211 (11.6% went to a 2-year college) -> up from 11% in 20121,280 (70.4%) found jobs -> same as 70.4% (1,087 children) in 2012101 (5.6%) are defined as "others" -> down from 117 (7.6%) in 2012* which means that number of orphaned children has increased and therefore the number of kids getting into uni and college have also increased, but the number of children becoming employed has remained the same.

According to data taken in 2017, 87.1% of children living in the homes are employed, up from 71.4% in 2012, so Tokyo is doing better than the national data. However, 46% of the job are in the service industry which would include restaurants, izakayas, karaoke stores, coffee shops, pachinko parlours, mobile phone shops (these examples were listed). 45% are full-time employees, 35% are part-timers. 12% temp staffs. More than 50% make less than 150,000 yen per month.
